Rainy Day Coffee Date...

There's really nothing better than grabbing a cup of coffee (in my case a cappuccino) and having a long talk with a friend. Last Thursday my friend, Cynthia, and I went downtown to Annapolis to enjoy some of the local coffee shops and play around with her adorable new pooch! Unfortunately, the weather had other plans and it was pouring rain and in the 50s. We grabbed drinks at City Dock and found a spot underneath an awning close to the water and sat and chatted for a few hours. We talked about our summer plans, books that we're reading and books that we want to read, and our future goals. It was just what I needed and made for the perfect start to my weekend. 

Happy Wednesday!

Strawberry Cone...

Friday night Sarah and I got together to catch up. Our night included mexican food, girl talk, strawberry ice cream cones, watching sailboats, and Keith Urban :)

Jimmy John's...

If you are in Annapolis and in need of a yummy sandwich go to "Jimmy John's." After church yesterday Sarah and I checked it out and I must say it was very yummy! I got the "Beach Club" sandwich which is fresh baked turkey breast, provolone cheese, avocado spread, sliced cucumber, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Yum!! Oh and if that doesn't sound good enough, they deliver! Now I know where to go when I'm in the mood for a good sandwich.

A Night In Naptown...

On Thursday night I went out to dinner with Sarah and Haylee. We decided to go somewhere we had never been before so we chose Moe's in Annapolis. When it comes to Mexican food I normally stick to Taco Bell but the food here was delicious and cheap! After dinner we walked around near the water and little bit and then decided to grab some ice cream. Raphael joined used after a while and spent the rest of the night talking, people watching, and walking around the harbor.

Peace and Love,

Weekend Update...

This weekend I spent Saturday with friends. Heather and I met for lunch where we had amazing Caesar salads!!

Then we went to do some shopping. I found this glam sequin dress but I wasn't willing to pay the $100 for it. Was that a mistake?

Heather found a lot of things she liked. We probably spent 20 minutes trying to decide what sweater she should get.
Then we headed to Goodwill. I was hoping to find as many treasures as I did last time but I came away empty handed. I did find out that our Goodwill has a pretty decent supply of used books and a lot of them are in good condition.

Heather and I jammed to Sweet Thing the whole car ride home. I have a video to prove it (which I will post later.)

Then we headed to a friend's birthday party in downtown Annapolis. It was really fun. After the party I helped Suzanne take our friend Betty home. It wasn't exactly smooth sailing seeing as we got lost in Bowie for about 10 minutes. Suzanne and I ended the night with soft serve Ice Creams from Micky D's. It was a pretty wonderful ending to an incredibly busy and fun day.

Peace and Love,

Naptown...

Thursday Sarah, Suzanne and I went out for a lunch date. It was the first time the roomies had been all together since Europe. Can you believe it? We went to the Metro Diner for lunch where Sarah and I got these amazing BLTs and Suzanne got the vanilla waffles. We had a great time talking and laughing, you know the usual girl stuff.

After lunch we headed downtown for cupcakes. We went to the lovely Nostalgia cupcakes for this fix. Suzanne got a toasted coconut and a red velvet cupcake while I got the Chocolate City Cupcake. This thing was unbelievable. After I ate it I felt like I was either suffering from a cupcake coma or I was pregnant with a cupcake baby. Either way it was worth it!

Sarah was holding our for a candied apple so after Suzanne and I finished our cupcakes we headed a couple of doors down. We went into this little candy shop that had at least 10 different kinds of candied apples. All of them looked good.

Sarah ended up getting the M&M covered apple.

Next time I am getting one of these chocolate covered twinkies! YUM!

After we all had our fill of sugar we walked around town and down to the docks. It was really hot so we made our walk short and headed back to the car.

Suzanne was driving so she dropped Sarah off first and then as she was on her way to my house she said "Hey, do you want to go to the library?" Suzanne and I love books. I mean we read alllll the time. Suzanne even works at the library. So we decided to drop in real quick. It's not like I needed any more books to read this summer but I like looking. After not finding a good summer romance I grabbed the next Trueblood book that I needed and we were on our way.

After hanging out with my girls all day I went out with the boys that night. I went with Isaac and Jacob to see Inception. It was really good but I was totally confused the whole time while the boys acted like they had it all figured out. It was fun hanging out just me and the guys. Oh and seeing previews featuring Zac Efron and John Hamm wasn't so bad either.

Peace and Love,

*Also want to wish Tyler Kyte a happy birthday today. Can't wait for the release of Sweet Thing's album on August 17th!
